Saw this movie at SIFF and I really liked it. Alienated and heavy, amazing cinematography.

Recently, there was a documentary about urban life called Megacities. Life in Loops is a remix of scenes from that documentary with music by the Sofa Surfers.

The partial lineup for this year's Bumbershoot looks solid. Also, Miranda July is doing two readings (I dotted her website a few days ago).

Quoted: This year's music acts include: The Shins, Wu-Tang Clan, Panic! At The Disco, Crowded House, Lupe Fiasco, Steve Earle, DeVotchKa, Devendra Banhart, Gogol Bordello, Kill Hannah, Norma Jean, Plain White T's, The Gourds, Lyrics Born, Roky Erickson & The Explosives, The Holmes Brothers, The Avett Brothers, Yungchen Lhamo, Allison Moorer, Magnolia Electric Company, The Aggrolites and many, many more to be announced!

Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello demands that you listen to these records. Gypsy music, old-school punk, some newer experimental stuff.

Infected Mushroom is my long-time favorite psytrance group and they have a "new" album out that sounds awesome. Great music for writing code. Check out "Becoming Insane" and "Change the Formality" tracks at their myspace page.
